There are some sound reasons for not listing a price. The vehicle business is actually a trading business. Most new vehicle purchases involve a trade in. Most used vehicle purchases involve a trade in. If you listen carefully the next time you shop a car dealer, you will notice they ask you what...

Had more time today until the winds started to blow so hard. Cold front is on the way. Anyhow, we now have the electrical to the point the starter will engage. It looks like we have a complete set of bows for one top at least. I checked out the tires a little further and I note two brands, BF...

Your route is none of my business, but I have been all 3+ ways many times and it really depends on the weather. And Then there is the wind that seems to blow all the time through there. Immigrant Canyon is a bit of a climb and then you have the Twin Sisters on I80. I have seen more fatalities on...

You might consider selling the M105 there in stock condition and renting a u-haul. M105's don't sell for as much here in Colorado as they do on the West Coast. I recently bought a couple of M105's complete with side racks, bows and canvas for less than $200 each. I have seen people asking $1000...

All this is beginning to sound like that last Home Owners Association meeting I attended.

It has been so long since my conversion I forgot the distributor shaft length difference. Now that you mention it, I recall hacksawing the shaft and making it the right length by silver soldering a steel tube to make the correct length. Don't remember if I had to lengthen or shorten the shaft...

Back to the top. I think I saw a SS classified WTB/WTT for an M211 hard top cab cover.

I put electric wipers on my M37 a long time ago. I would struggle to get them working in Denver and then a trip to the mountains they would just quit. It was hard to get them both working at the same pace as well. Usually had to just use the drivers side when I went to higher altitudes and even...

Good weather today coupled with a free afternoon has allowed us to inspect and investigate our XM791's a little further. We managed to make out more of the circular MP sign we found in one of the cabs. It says "Military Police" around the outside edge of the sign and then across the middle just...

No. The water pump bottom hose elbow is taking the coolest water out of the radiator and the water pump is pumping it into the front of the block. This cool water is pushed down both sides of the cylinders gaining heat along the way until it gets to the back of the block. The block has small...

OK, 185-195 is hot enough to get heat that you can feel out of a cab heater. By #6 is where the hot water comes from to the heater core. If the flow is unrestricted through the cab heater core, then there is not enough flow to supply your required heat or the heater core is too small to supply...

98Taco3, I found some new NDT 9.00x16's the other day. I faked disinterest and did not ask the price. If you are still looking for tires as per MVCC post, I can do some follow up. Ghostdriver (the actual donee of the lift ring) will need a set as the M43 comes back to life so we might be...

Sounds like two choices, feeds the breaker box or supplies power to a remote something. My M220 has a couple of power plugs that feed/fed the old and new alternating current breaker boxes. While they are different, they both have screw on sleeves to keep the power cord attached. The snap plug...

Given the spring loaded cover, I would say a 4 pin trailer plug.

Sorry to disagree, but the first thing in old engine diagnostics is to listen to it run and accelerate up from idle in a no load condition. Then it is easier to do a quick vacuum check followed by a compression check. This will usually tell you where to look further. My experience is the first...

I take it this will become the place for 5 tons beyond WWII? Assuming I might be correct, then I also assume our XM791 project would fit in the G744 category. ???

M101a1 This looks like an M101a2 to me

Back in one of the last gas crises (which one you might ask since I am so old) I had a 5 gallon jerry can of heavy oil chainsaw fuel in the side mount on my M37. I was going to the mountains on weekends and cutting fire wood. Someone stole my whole can. It had to be a neighbor kid as it...

Bent push rods are nominally due to over revving the engine or a sudden change in RPM's. Given the governors in these trucks, I expect the bending of push rods occurs when the mighty Dual Range GMC Hydromatic finally decides to shift after lumbering up that hill and crowning over the top. What...

My Newell motor home has a nice set of semi-truck style horns. Loudish, but there is a rocker switch to move the horn button to a "city" horn. The difference is kind of like going from a nice set of old Cadillac horns to an old VW bug horn. ~~~ I notice lots of requests from the crowds when we...
